The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission today instituted three separate public administrative proceedings against a total of nine companies to determine whether the registration of each class of their securities should be revoked or suspended for failure to file required periodic reports.

In this proceeding, the Commission issued administrative proceedings against the following issuers:

DrKoop.Com, Inc.

1st Miracle Entertainment, Inc.

United States Crude International, Inc.

In this Order, the Division of Enforcement alleges that the three issuers are delinquent in their required periodic filings with the Commission. The Division of Enforcement also alleges that each of these issuers has, at times during the past twelve months, traded at volumes exceeding 100,000 shares per day.

In this proceeding, the Commission instituted administrative proceedings against the following issuers:

Advanced Solutions & Technologies, Inc.

Comparator Systems Corp.

Emerging Enterprise Solutions, Inc.

Shaman Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

In this Order, the Division of Enforcement alleges that the four issuers are delinquent in their required periodic filings with the Commission. The Division of Enforcement also alleges that each of these issuers has, at times during the past twelve months, traded at volumes exceeding 100,000 shares per day.

In this proceeding, the Commission instituted administrative proceedings against the following issuers:

Amitelo Communications, Inc.

Whitehall Enterprises, Inc.

In this Order, the Division of Enforcement alleges that the two issuers are delinquent in their required periodic filings with the Commission. The Division of Enforcement also alleges that each of these issuers has, at times during the past twelve months, traded at volumes exceeding 100,000 shares per day.

In each of these proceedings, instituted pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge. At those hearings, the judge will hear evidence from the Division of Enforcement and the respondents to determine whether the allegations of the Division of Enforcement contained in the Orders, which the Division alleges constitute violations of Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder, are true. The judge will then determine whether the registrations pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12 of the securities of these respondents should be revoked, or in the alternative, suspended for a period not exceeding twelve months. The Commission ordered that the Administrative Law Judge issue an initial decision in each of these proceedings not later than 120 days from the date of service of the orders instituting proceedings.
